Berlin is the place to be in 2023, particularly for the microwave trade. The European Microwave Week (EuMW) is Europe’s premier annual microwave, RF, wi-fi and radar occasion and is coming to the German capital. German based mostly take a look at and measurement knowledgeable Rohde & Schwarz will current a complete portfolio of state-of-the-art take a look at options to deal with the newest trade challenges. A particular focus can be on early sub-THz analysis for 6G.
Rohde & Schwarz is a globally lively, main T&M specialist with headquarters in Germany and can exhibit at this yr’s European Microwave Week 2023 in Berlin from September 19 to 21 below the motto “From Gigahertz to Terahertz.” Guests can study in regards to the firm’s newest take a look at purposes for microwave parts, automotive, and aerospace and protection at sales space H105 in Messe Berlin Hub27
The Rohde & Schwarz sales space will deal with the corporate’s rising vary of cutting-edge take a look at options for 6G. Academia and key trade gamers acknowledge the potential of the D band (110 GHz to 170 GHz) as a candidate for past 5G and 6G cell communications in addition to for future sensing and automotive radar purposes. To assist pioneering mmWave and sub-THz analysis, Rohde & Schwarz is rolling out a sophisticated RF take a look at and measurement portfolio, enabling researchers to characterize units and circuits for tomorrow’s merchandise at the moment.
Highlights on the Rohde & Schwarz sales space embrace the corporate’s first public demonstration of a wideband D band communications testing resolution with the corporate’s brand-new R&S SFI100A wideband IF vector sign generator with as much as 10 GHz RF modulation bandwidth. Mixed with the R&S FSW50 sign and spectrum analyzer, easy-to-mount R&S FE170ST/SR TX/RX frontends and the brand new R&S NRP170TWG thermal energy sensor for the D band, it’s a full and streamlined T&M resolution for early 6G and sub- THz analysis and improvement.
Different demo setups present multi-port measurements within the W band with new R&S FE110ST/SR TX/RX frontends, the R&S SMW200A vector sign generator and the R&S RTP oscilloscope. Overlaying the frequency vary from 70 GHz to 110 GHz, these new frontends complement the corporate’s portfolio by concentrating on high-frequency purposes as much as 110 GHz. The excellent show of D band purposes is rounded out with two extra setups: One that includes D band part characterization utilizing the R&S ZNA vector community analyzer mixed with R&S ZC170 mmWave converters; one other one exhibiting part noise measurements within the D band with the R&S FSWP part noise analyzer and the R&S SMA100B vector sign generator mixed with R&S FS-Z170 harmonic mixers and R&S SMZ170 frequency multipliers that enhance the instrument frequency vary to 170 GHz.
The most recent additions to the Rohde & Schwarz sub-THz take a look at portfolio (R&S SFI100A, R&S NRP170TWG and R&S FE110ST/SR) can be out there quickly however guests can already expertise them in particular person on the EuMW in Berlin.
From design to characterization to manufacturing, Rohde & Schwarz affords quite a few options to optimize efficiency and assure the standard of the ultimate RF and microwave parts. On the EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz could have a setup for easy and correct noise determine and acquire measurements as much as 110 GHz, a key efficiency metric for RF parts. The demo options the brand new R&S FS-SNS110 good noise supply together with the R&S FSVA3000 sign and spectrum analyzer. For manufacturing exams of lively and passive units, guests can expertise a multiport resolution consisting of the R&S ZNB26 vector community analyzer and the R&S ZN-Z86 change matrix with as much as 24 outputs for optimized sequential DUT testing.
Rohde & Schwarz can be at the forefront of automotive radar take a look at know-how, with unrivalled options for simulating shifting objects and full radar sensor efficiency characterization. On the EuMW, guests can see the R&S Radar Check System (RTS) with the R&S AREG800A automotive radar echo generator as a backend and the R&S QAT100 antenna array for the frontend, with new capabilities that make it the one take a look at system for full characterization of radar sensors and radar echo era with object distances all the way down to the airgap for FMCW radars. The technically superior take a look at resolution is appropriate for all improvement lab, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL), validation and manufacturing software necessities. The answer can be totally scalable and might emulate probably the most complicated site visitors eventualities for superior driver help methods (ADAS).
Rohde & Schwarz has a long time of trade expertise and always helps push the boundaries of technological progress within the aerospace, protection and house industries. Examples for this embrace new satellite tv for pc constellations in LEO, MEO or GEO orbits and the mixing of non-terrestrial networks (NTN) in terrestrial communication networks that assist present seamless connectivity even in distant areas across the globe.
Lively antenna arrays with beamforming capabilities are key applied sciences for establishing hyperlinks between satellite tv for pc terminals and finish units on the bottom. To check these novel satellite tv for pc terminals, Rohde & Schwarz will show an answer on the EuMW based mostly on the R&S ATS1800C CATR based mostly take a look at chamber for over-the-air measurements of electrically massive beamforming antenna arrays. Different A&D demos have a look at the excellent characterization of high-gain satellite tv for pc receivers.
The R&S QAR50 makes use of microwave imaging know-how that leverages tons of of obtain and transmit antennas to rapidly characterize supplies. Rohde & Schwarz will exhibit its tried-and-tested automotive radome tester in a brand new context on the EuMW. The tester is good for testing radomes and bumpers in improvement and manufacturing and likewise for real-time materials evaluation of packaged merchandise, because of the brand new R&S QAR50-K80 real-time imaging software program. Complementing present strategies equivalent to cameras, X-rays or scales to detect high quality points equivalent to leakage or undesirable particles in packages, the software program makes use of neuronal networks to detect abnormalities with out opening containers.
Modern know-how belongs in knowledgeable palms. The Rohde & Schwarz assist community spans a number of time zones and reaches all corners of the world. On the EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz can even highlight its complete service portfolio. Guests can find out about accredited calibration companies, restore companies instantly from Rohde & Schwarz, coaching programs and trade insights from the R&S Know-how Academy, and the 24/7 hotline service in addition to on-site assist.
